Here's mine. I read my intro with the combined corrections of Ogrim and someone on lang8. Hopefully I didn't create any new errors when combining them. I tried to read it in as much of a Bergen dialect as I could, so I read "jeg" as "eg", "ikke" as "isje", and "mars" as "mars" rather than "marsj". My "e"s are pronounced quite Oslo-esque though; they're pronounced more like "a"s in the Bergen dialect. It was a bit difficult though, as I've been getting a lot more Oslo dialect exposure lately than I usually do.

Here's what I read, in case some parts are completely unintelligible.

Hei hei, jeg heter Nicole. Jeg er født og oppvokst i Canada. Jeg startet å lære norsk i mars i fjor og det er mitt tredje fremmedspråk. Min favorittdialekt er bergensk på grunn av skarre-r, mangelen på hunnkjønn, og prosodien. Jeg drar på utveksling neste skoleår. Jeg håper at jeg får dra til Norge, men det er ikke bestemt hvilket land jeg får reise til. Selv om jeg ikke kommer til Norge, er jeg motivert til å lære mer norsk i år.

Any advice is appreciated. :)

Wow. Not only did I understand every word, but had it not been at such a leisurly pace, I would have thought you were Danish!Impressive indeed!

If you can fool a Norwegian you are really doing an amazing job.

Thank you Ogrim, I bet you mean the short vowels. Now I realize
what you mean. In Portuguese we contrast heavily open and closed e's and o's, but the
Norwegian ones seem more open than close.


Basically yes. There is some degree of vowel reduction in Norwegian as well, especially final -e, but it is not
as marked as I believe it is in Portuguese. And when you have two vowels together which do not form a
diphthong, you need to pronounce both of them clearly.

Folks, can you recommend a TV series that takes place in Oslo and helps seeing important
streets and landscapes? (Already watched Dag)

Here are some pretty cool scenarios. Not much concerning language, unfortunately.
